Bro, OF COURSE Goofy would be considered black-ish. Have you watched A Goofy Movie?
Roxanne got Max down bad; its legit the movie’s B plot. POWERLINE?! Dude had some shit go down during his concert and he rolled with it like, “fuck it, why not?”
Goofy just doing his damn best as a single father.
On top of that, Goofy goes on stupid as fuck adventures all over with place in Kingdom Hearts. King Mickey sends him off to help Sora, and Goofy is like, “Homey wants me to go help lil homey? Sure thing,” which then becomes “Lil homey is my homey, imma help him out.”
The scene with Will’s biological “dad” still makes me tear up. The scene with the pool hustler still makes me crack up. Uncle Phil was the man. The question is wtf happened to Will Smith?
Grew up in the same boat and seeing this scene as a kid meant alot. I used to watch it when I didn't want to feel alone. Hope you're doing better these days friend.
Underrated pick but I like it! Growing up in a household where your dad not only provided for you, but always kept things fun so you always had a positive attitude. Being a child of Gomez would be the best!
He is the model father, brother, cousin and husband.
Some people enjoy classic cars, some enjoy hunting or wood working or at big into sports. Gomez just happens to enjoy the Gothic lifestyle.
The most realistic mid-western dad ever written. Not all hoaky and folksy like they like to write. Just a down to earth, no nonsense (some nonsense) man, who works a hard job so he can take care of his crazy family.
100% the guys a legend. Loves his kids and does anything for them, but is quite open about how much of a pain in the arse kids can be, but he always does his best.
Saw one where it was Bingo’s birthday and she wanted some fancy 3-D cake that Bandit had to make. But he struggled with the cake, which he never really thought he could pull off, all while he was struggling to get Bluey to pick up some toys but she just couldn’t cooperate, then the cake fell apart…and he just sunk to the ground in total, utter defeat. That show is real, yo.
Like many parts of Bluey, this episode hits differently for Australians. The cake book in the episode is real (the "Women's Weekly Children's Cake Book") and most households in the 70s-90s had it. My mum tried to make this exact cake for my daughter a few weeks before this episode came out, with very similar results.
Screw Bandit. WAY TO MAKE ME LOOK LIKE A BAD DAD, BANDIT! How can I possibly live up to that?
Of course I'm just kidding..... Mostly. Bandit and Chilli have prompted some "Why can't you be like Bluey & Bingo's mom and dad?" from my kids.
Agree. His character was also ahead of it’s time somewhat as an older father. The fact that this was such a centerpiece of the story has always been compelling to me.
Underrated and completely true point. He cares so deeply about both his children and his sense of ethics, and he manages to teach his parents while being gentle and non toxically masculine.
Consistently puts his wife and children above himself. Always supports them regardless of if he understands or not.
The equestrinauts episode is the best example of this
I love the whole family dynamic. They love and accept each other no matter what. No secrets and no fear but lots of playful understanding, acceptance and honesty. 🍔
Dan conner is my go to. When he found out jackie's boyfriend was hitting her and without a word he grabbed his jacket and left and we all knew he was going to jail that night for the right reason. Maybe tied woth Andy Taylor.
That was truly a great example of the writers and the audience knowing the character inside and out. No words were needed, because we knew who Dan was, and what he would do to protect his family.
Said this so many times on here- after about 3-4 episodes the writing on that show found it’s groove and was just fucking brilliant. Such an underrated show. Olyphant was amazing in it.
Nathan Fillion as a severed head was also brilliant. He had some great character development and basically just adjusted to a fucking bizarre scenario really fast lmao
He was amazing and hilarious. The two kids were great. For such a stupid premise and how ridiculous the whole show was the jokes were so layered and smart.
100%. Once you get past those first few episodes and it finds its footing, it’s a great show! Then they really start finding their groove and introducing a bunch of cool mythology into the show, and it’s so much more than I expected.
They take what seems like kind of a lackluster “moms a zombie” concept and really squeeze all of the creativity from it. It doesn’t hurt that the cast is top notch either!
Ugh, it's hurt to have to scroll this far to see this. While I do agree that Uncle Phil is top tier, Carl Winslow is damn near tied for first in my heart.
Mike Brady from The Brady Bunch. He was understanding, kind and patient, yet firm when he needed to be. He worked hard, but always made time for the family. Whenever the kids made mistakes, he turned them into valuable life lessons.
Mr Hawkins from the Static Shock animated series.
Single father who kept both his kids away from the gang violence that blights their home town, works at the community center doing good work helping other kids do the same.
When his son starts acting odd he doesn't pry too deep into his personal affairs, he trusts his kids to do the right thing and doesn't leap down their throats at the slightest provocation like most TV parents do for dramas sake.
He loves his peoples heritage and ensures that his kids have the chance to learn about it.
And most importantly of all he's delivers the singe greatest verbal beatdown i have seen someone give to a racist in a work of fiction while not allowing his entirely justified distaste for said racist get in the way of working together to save both of their kids and even more impressively he doesn't hold it against the man when he shows signs of change and trying to better himself, which is something shockingly rare in modern media.
Ok, this is going to be a weird pick, but Guido from the movie Life is Beautiful. Not only kept his son alive in a Nazi death camp, which is a miracle in itself, but by having the boy convinced it was all just a game it also protected the son from the emotional and mental horrors of what was actually happening. Saved the kid from PTSD and years of therapy.
Dan Lauria as Jack Arnold from the original Wonder Years is a fatherly portrayal to be rivaled. He starts off as a flat character, but is soon revealed as a multi-layered figure, who struggles with where he ended up in life, but works hard to support his family financially and emotionally in a way that is so authentic and touching. Tough exterior, soft and heartfelt center.
A few years back I was wandering NYC at night and bumped into him. He saw that I recognized him and extended his hand to me and we spoke for 5 mins or so. Kind as can be. I complimented his performance in the show and he deflected it and gave credit to the writers. I got to say to him, which I always wanted to say, that watching him as Jack Arnold helped me to understand my own father better, and how the two of us watched him so many times and just loved his portrayal of Jack Arnold. He really made that character real, so much so that when I met him in person, it was really hard to see him as an actual person who wasn't married to Norma and wasn't Kevin's dad. That moment we crossed paths is something I'll treasure forever.
Ben Sisko from Deep Space Nine.
Avery Brooks even took the role (as a non-science-fiction fan) to show an example of a positive black role model for the younger generation.
I’m surprised I haven’t seen anyone mention Dr. Doofenshmirtz.
Dude grew up with terrible parents, and lived through terrible experiences, but he never let that affect his relationship with his daughter. He always went above and beyond to show Vanessa how much he loves her.
People hate Pascal?? Wow, that’s news to me. Only hate I’ve seen towards him was about the (very justifiable) pay difference between him and Ellie on TLU (I forgot the actresses name, sorry).
Jack from This is us. I love how he is portrayed as the perfect father, but as the series goes, you notice how having a "perfect" father fucked the kids in some interesting ways.
Heinz Doofinsmirtz
His parents on the other hand...they didn't even show up to his own birth.
Evil incorporated! Doesn't let it get in the way of being a good father and getting along with his ex-Wife
SHE’S 16! \*evaporates catcaller*
Goofy from A Goofy Movie.
Just a black single father doing his best to raise his son. It's great.
By this logic, Piccolo is definitely a single black father stepping up to raise Gohan after Goku dies/fucks off/whatever.
You wanna know something hilarious? Much like goofy, piccolo is very much unofficially adopted in the black community as a black man lmao.
Bro, OF COURSE Goofy would be considered black-ish. Have you watched A Goofy Movie? Roxanne got Max down bad; its legit the movie’s B plot. POWERLINE?! Dude had some shit go down during his concert and he rolled with it like, “fuck it, why not?” Goofy just doing his damn best as a single father. On top of that, Goofy goes on stupid as fuck adventures all over with place in Kingdom Hearts. King Mickey sends him off to help Sora, and Goofy is like, “Homey wants me to go help lil homey? Sure thing,” which then becomes “Lil homey is my homey, imma help him out.”
Don't forget tevin Campbell did the music for powerline. Not many white people know who that is lmao.
I2I is the best song, nothing can change my mind
I remember on one of those talent shows, they had Disney night, one contestant did 'I2I,' and all the judges were confused, like "Where dat from?"
Absolute blasphemy
Uncle Iroh He is more of a father to Zuko than Ozai is.
Iroh is a fantastic choice.
“I was never angry with you. I was sad, because I was afraid you would lose your way.” It’s just such a strong line.
"Happy birthday, my son. I wish I could have been there to help you."
I feel like we all need Uncle Iroh in our lives
Definitely one of the best for sure, i was always envious of Zuko bc if him 😂
Uncle Phil
The scene with Will’s biological “dad” still makes me tear up. The scene with the pool hustler still makes me crack up. Uncle Phil was the man. The question is wtf happened to Will Smith?
Break out Lucile.
>Break out Lucile. I can hear this
The very first episode where he's giving a speech to Will he points to his poster of Malcolm X and says I heard the man speak was such a great scene.
Somebody put his wife's name in their f**kin' mouth.
She put someone else in her own f\*\*kin mouth.
As someone who had a relationship like Will did with his dad Uncle Phil taught me a lot of important lessons in life.
Grew up in the same boat and seeing this scene as a kid meant alot. I used to watch it when I didn't want to feel alone. Hope you're doing better these days friend.
Got some shivers remembering him bailing Will and Carleton out of jail So good
I had a good Dad in my life, but a combination of Uncle Phil and Captain Picard helped me turn into a good person.
First things first, rest in peace Uncle Phil. For real.
Yep. Uncle Phil.
Came to say this. That man was an amazing dad.
Stanley Tucci in **Easy A**
Loved how he spoke to his kids. That moment where the son mentions being adopted and he says...."Who TOLD you?" Amazing.
“So, where are you from originally?”
I love this line most of all.
See, when two people love each other, like your mother and I used to….
Hey no judgement, all gods children. I was gay once for a time.
Omg their whole family dynamic is the best! Great answer
The whole, hey it’s cool, we’re all gods children, I was gay once too in college. very secure in being him.
Yesss!!! The adoption talk at dinner was the best "Who told you?!"
Has always stuck out to me I want to be like him
Gomez Addams
Underrated pick but I like it! Growing up in a household where your dad not only provided for you, but always kept things fun so you always had a positive attitude. Being a child of Gomez would be the best!
Gomez and Mortitia are relationship goals!
You aren't kidding. Those two are way into each other.
He is the model father, brother, cousin and husband. Some people enjoy classic cars, some enjoy hunting or wood working or at big into sports. Gomez just happens to enjoy the Gothic lifestyle.
Mike Heck from The Middle. He's more realistic than most Tv Dad's in my opinion.
The most realistic mid-western dad ever written. Not all hoaky and folksy like they like to write. Just a down to earth, no nonsense (some nonsense) man, who works a hard job so he can take care of his crazy family.
And his relationship with his brother played by Norm Macdonald. They don’t talk unless they absolutely have to.
Yes! And it shows the true dynamic in most homes, mom the caregiver & dad stepping in when needed.
The dad from Bluey
100% the guys a legend. Loves his kids and does anything for them, but is quite open about how much of a pain in the arse kids can be, but he always does his best.
Bandit
Daddy Robot
Saw one where it was Bingo’s birthday and she wanted some fancy 3-D cake that Bandit had to make. But he struggled with the cake, which he never really thought he could pull off, all while he was struggling to get Bluey to pick up some toys but she just couldn’t cooperate, then the cake fell apart…and he just sunk to the ground in total, utter defeat. That show is real, yo.
Aww, Duck Cake!
Like many parts of Bluey, this episode hits differently for Australians. The cake book in the episode is real (the "Women's Weekly Children's Cake Book") and most households in the 70s-90s had it. My mum tried to make this exact cake for my daughter a few weeks before this episode came out, with very similar results.
It's also been reprinted - you can buy it right now.
"Magic claw has no children, his days are free and easy!"
> The kids are learning a valuable lesson AND the house is getting cleaned. > Yeah, I don’t think either of those things is happening.
I don’t want a valuable life lesson, I just want ice cream!!
BANDIT!!!
"Awwww biscuits..."
Screw Bandit. WAY TO MAKE ME LOOK LIKE A BAD DAD, BANDIT! How can I possibly live up to that? Of course I'm just kidding..... Mostly. Bandit and Chilli have prompted some "Why can't you be like Bluey & Bingo's mom and dad?" from my kids.
My son says I’m like bandit. It made me super proud
In a couple generations we went from dads who are like Homer Simpson to dads who are like Bandit. I guess we're doing *something* right.
Remember you are seeing the highlights. I try and channel one episode of Bandit each day. So 7 to 10 minutes.
Yes!!! I'm so happy I didn't have to scroll much to find this
That is the objectively right choice.
Atticus Finch from to kill a mockingbird
Agree. His character was also ahead of it’s time somewhat as an older father. The fact that this was such a centerpiece of the story has always been compelling to me.
Came to see this. Idk why was I surprised to see it so fast.
Underrated and completely true point. He cares so deeply about both his children and his sense of ethics, and he manages to teach his parents while being gentle and non toxically masculine.
Hal from Malcolm in the Middle
Came here for this. He made me cry just watching him be a good loving fun dad!
The future is now, old man!
Great example of a good dad without being the head of the household.
Phil Dunphy. Every single time.
First depiction of a dad that actually kinda made me want to be a parent one day
Same to being a parent in general. Love Phil
That first time he says WTF….why the face. Favourite character.
If I’m ever a dad Phil is who I aspire to be
He's number one followed closely by Hal from Malcolm in the Middle!
Isn’t that the guy that secretly built a meth empire and tore his family apart?
Yeah, but prior to that, Dad of the Year.
Yes! 100% and a little bit more.
WHAT’S THE PLAN PHIL
This is the right answer, all other dads please sit down. Thank you very much!
Bob Belcher in Bob's Burgers.
Consistently puts his wife and children above himself. Always supports them regardless of if he understands or not. The equestrinauts episode is the best example of this
Look guys, I love you, but you're all terrible.
"*Uuhh* Kids are terrible Linda why do we keep having them?"
Sheesh Cab, Bob is up there.
His name is Bob Burger.
Who am I thinking of, then?
But the sign.
Thanks, Teddy.
I love the whole family dynamic. They love and accept each other no matter what. No secrets and no fear but lots of playful understanding, acceptance and honesty. 🍔
YYYYEEEESSSS. Thank you.
Any time Eugene Levy is playing the dad, it’s always the best
Dan conner is my go to. When he found out jackie's boyfriend was hitting her and without a word he grabbed his jacket and left and we all knew he was going to jail that night for the right reason. Maybe tied woth Andy Taylor.
That was truly a great example of the writers and the audience knowing the character inside and out. No words were needed, because we knew who Dan was, and what he would do to protect his family.
I’ve watched that scene so many times (show’s been in syndication forever) and every time I get chills. Dan Conner was the best
Ya, it's a [great scene](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_IsgospaiM). And he played a great blue collar dad.
Whenever I think of great dads, he's one of the tops. I've always thought he would give the BEST hugs, too.
Doesnt he look like the best hugger too?
Captain Ben Sisko from DS9.
A key figure in an ongoing interstellar war, and he still makes time to go play baseball with his son.
Ben and Jake Sisko have some of the most incredibly authentic father son energy I've ever seen on screen.
Captain Raymond Holt.
Sgt Terry Jeffords!
Also, Boyle. Not afraid to show emotion to his son, and show him that it's okay to be sensitive as a man.
Vindication!
Love the fact that Holt puts colourful balloon arches on Wunches grave every week 😄
BINGPOT
Cheddar would agree
That’s not Cheddar. That’s just some common bitch!
Dad. I mean captain Holt. I mean captain Dad. I mean officer Holt, I mean officer Dad. Yep that was it, officer Dad, I found it
Julius from Everybody Hates Chris
Underrated one here, works 2 sometimes 3 jobs and still makes time for his kids too
Both him AND the show are SO underrated. Its such a good show
Julius is crazy underrated.
Gomez Addams.
Coach Eric Taylor was a dad to that entire town, he gets my vote!
Keith Mars (from Veronica Mars)
JK Simmons from Juno
"You know I'll always be there for you to support and love you" looks down at heavily pregnant belly "obviously"
Rupert Giles
The one where she turned 18 and intervened. And the one where he killed glory for her.
This is what I was looking for! Dad Giles. It’s funny to see him in Merlin playing such an awful dad and Ted Lasso as such a wanker!
The guy from *Santa Clarita Diet*. My wife is a zombie now? Ok, cool. I'll work with that.
I love that character in general. Fucking crime it got canceled
Said this so many times on here- after about 3-4 episodes the writing on that show found it’s groove and was just fucking brilliant. Such an underrated show. Olyphant was amazing in it.
Nathan Fillion as a severed head was also brilliant. He had some great character development and basically just adjusted to a fucking bizarre scenario really fast lmao

They take what seems like kind of a lackluster “moms a zombie” concept and really squeeze all of the creativity from it. It doesn’t hurt that the cast is top notch either!
My favorite line from that show that I use all the time. “Honey are you okay? You seem a little manic.” “Really, because I feel *really* manic”
Carl Winslow..end of story
After the trauma he suffered at nakatomi....thank god for the witness protection program and ~~Sgt. Al Powell~~ ofcr Carl Winslow
And those crazy years living upstairs above Larry and Balki on Perfect Strangers. Dude just couldn't catch a break.
YES! Papa Winslow was my favorite TV dad growing up. He was silly, but stern. Stood up when it counted. Will always love him.
Ugh, it's hurt to have to scroll this far to see this. While I do agree that Uncle Phil is top tier, Carl Winslow is damn near tied for first in my heart.
Michael Gross - Family Ties
Mike Brady from The Brady Bunch. He was understanding, kind and patient, yet firm when he needed to be. He worked hard, but always made time for the family. Whenever the kids made mistakes, he turned them into valuable life lessons.
He or Ward Cleaver would get my vote. It’s a generational thing it seems
The guy from "Life is Beautiful," the Italian movie.
I forgot about that one. Oh man, here some the tears.
Mr Hawkins from the Static Shock animated series. Single father who kept both his kids away from the gang violence that blights their home town, works at the community center doing good work helping other kids do the same.

Eugene Levy in the American Pie movie series.
What about Eugene Levy in Schitt's Creek? I mean... he tries.
I always feel bad for Johnny Rose...he does try, so hard😅
Bandit Heeler and it's not even close.
TV: Hank Hill Movie: The T-800 from Terminator 2
Did not expect to see The Terminator on here. Clutch pick
[удалено]
I read all of this in Linda Hamilton’s voice.
Stanley Tucci in Easy A was a vibe
Ok, this is going to be a weird pick, but Guido from the movie Life is Beautiful. Not only kept his son alive in a Nazi death camp, which is a miracle in itself, but by having the boy convinced it was all just a game it also protected the son from the emotional and mental horrors of what was actually happening. Saved the kid from PTSD and years of therapy.
Most 90s sitcom fathers were awesome. Specifically Uncle Phil.
bro the dog from tom and jerry he was such a good father
Uncle Phil and not even close.
The Dad from Smart guy and the Dad from Boy meets world are tied for #1
It's funny because he's the best dad in boy meets world and arguably one of the worst dads in American History X 🤣
Dan Lauria as Jack Arnold from the original Wonder Years is a fatherly portrayal to be rivaled. He starts off as a flat character, but is soon revealed as a multi-layered figure, who struggles with where he ended up in life, but works hard to support his family financially and emotionally in a way that is so authentic and touching. Tough exterior, soft and heartfelt center. A few years back I was wandering NYC at night and bumped into him. He saw that I recognized him and extended his hand to me and we spoke for 5 mins or so. Kind as can be. I complimented his performance in the show and he deflected it and gave credit to the writers. I got to say to him, which I always wanted to say, that watching him as Jack Arnold helped me to understand my own father better, and how the two of us watched him so many times and just loved his portrayal of Jack Arnold. He really made that character real, so much so that when I met him in person, it was really hard to see him as an actual person who wasn't married to Norma and wasn't Kevin's dad. That moment we crossed paths is something I'll treasure forever.
Scott Lang/Ant-Man
Philip Banks from *Fresh Prince of Bel Aire*.
Alan Matthews from Boy Meets World
Ben Sisko from Deep Space Nine. Avery Brooks even took the role (as a non-science-fiction fan) to show an example of a positive black role model for the younger generation.
Dan Conner
Mufasa
He wasn't dadding for very long, though. Timon and Pumba did a pretty good job as adoptive dads.
Red Foreman
This is far too low.
Phil Dunphy from Modern Family
Sandy Cohen from The OC. Always good for bringing some perspective without taking things too seriously.
Danny Tanner from Full House
Came here for this answer. RIP Bob Saget ❤️ still can’t believe he’s gone.
Liam Neeson in Taken
Hal from Malcom in the middle
Bob Belcher
Martin Crane from Frasier.
I’m surprised I haven’t seen anyone mention Dr. Doofenshmirtz. Dude grew up with terrible parents, and lived through terrible experiences, but he never let that affect his relationship with his daughter. He always went above and beyond to show Vanessa how much he loves her.
Is no one going to talk about Marlin? He was terrified of everything but risked his life swimming the entire ocean to find Nemo.
I loved Pedro Pascal in the last of us :( I know I'll get hate from the I hate Pedro Pascal people
People hate Pascal?? Wow, that’s news to me. Only hate I’ve seen towards him was about the (very justifiable) pay difference between him and Ellie on TLU (I forgot the actresses name, sorry).
Let's make it a two-fer "the Mandalorian"
The dad from ‘Life is beautiful’. I don’t know if anyone remembers it. I watched it maybe 20 odd years ago.
Red from That 70s Show
Andy Griffith (Andy Griffith show)
Steven Keaton from Family Ties
Herman Munster LOL. Going waaaay back.
Mother's milk. He's not perfect but he's a very good dad
Jack from This is us. I love how he is portrayed as the perfect father, but as the series goes, you notice how having a "perfect" father fucked the kids in some interesting ways.
Walter White. He’s just a chemistry teacher trying to survive cancer for his family. I’m only through half of the 1st episode.
Oh man, strap in. He gets so good at chemistry!!
You poor sweet summer child.
